Hello,

is it possible to create view-entitys and give them an
action like normal entities?

I want to make 100 view-entities and I don’t want to do:
“entity ent_1{….} entity ent_2{….}...” 100 times!
I would even need to call each one of them in my
function “ent_1.x=…;ent_2.x=…; ...”

Can’t I just do something like:
“viewent_create(“line.mdl”,temp.x,move_line);”

Is there a function like that?

I want to make an effect on the screen. The entitys that
make up that effect are supposed to be at the same position
on the screen even when I am moving/tilting the camera.
So I think I need view-entitys. Or is there a way to do
that with normal enititys?

view entities are not level entities, they cannot be assigned an action per say. instead you referance the view entity by its definition name just as you would any level entity by pointer

i.e.

entity bigbob
{

}

function animate_bob
{
ent_animate(bigbob....
....
)

function movebob
{
bigbob.y += force_key.x;
bigbob.z += force_key.y;
}

and so on

there is a view entity create but you cannot use it via script ( untill c-Lite is released) it has to be used in a dll

Thank you.

Than I have to find another way to make the effect.
It would be verry useful to have a function
like: "viewent_create".

sorry was off on a tangent thinking...

ent_createlayer

you just can;t use it for 'sky' entitys via script. view entitis it works
